Cashew Rice Balls | Cashew Rice Snacks
Cashew Rice Balls are crispy, nutty tea-time snacks made with rice and cashews. A perfect homemade snack loved by kids and adults.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Cashew nuts
- 1 Cup Jaggery syrup 1 cup Jaggery powder melt in ¾ cup water
- ¾ Cup Grated coconut
- 1 Tsp cardamom powder
- 1 Cup Boiled rice washed and drained
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom pan, roast the red rice until aromatic and starts to change color. Make sure that the heat is medium-low as the rice could get burned easily without getting properly roasted. Remove the roasted rice in a bowl and keep aside to cool.
- In the same pan, add the cashews and roast them until light brown. Remove this in a separate bowl and keep aside to cool.
- Pour melted and strained jaggery into the same pan.
- Add grated coconut into it and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- In a small mixer or a spice grinder, grind the cooled rice to a smooth powder. In the same grinder, grind the cashews to powder them. Make sure that you just pulse it. Add cardamom powder into it.
- Now transfer the ground cashew, ground rice powder into the jaggery grated coconut mix.
- Combine well. Turn off the flame.
- Once everything is well combined, transfer it to a bowl and start forming tight balls with your palm. We will not need any ghee or fat to bind it. Store in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days at room temperature and if storing further than that, refrigerate it.
